KNOXVILLE — You’re welcome to wear a Halloween costume to Saturday’s UT-South Carolina game, but the mask will have to go.
University of Tennessee officials say that for security reasons no one will be allowed to bring or wear a mask to the 7:45 p.m. game Halloween. Fans cannot store their masks at any Neyland Stadium gate.
Face-painting is fine, according to the university.
Also, while costumes are OK inside the stadium, anyone wearing one will be searched to ensure no prohibited items are brought in. Props meant to go with a costume, such as a toy gun or sword, will not be allowed inside Neyland Stadium.
According to the university, there will be trick-or-treating and a Halloween costume contest at the Volunteer Village commercial exhibition area on the Humanities Plaza lawn from 4:15 p.m. to 7:15 p.m.
More details as they develop online and in Thursday’s News Sentinel.

Ahhhhhhhhh! I was going to wear a giant butt cheeks mask. The only problem is that people might not be able to tell if I was Spurrier, Myers or Slive!

Could go as a blind SEC ref - sun glasses and a cane.... or an SEC ref with "tickets" to the Fla/Bama SEC championship game.

WD - just make sure you don't sacrifice any gamecocks prior/during the game. I know it's ritual to do so and would normally be encouraged, but it may be frowned upon by law enforcement officials and our beloved SEC. I'd hate to see you get in trouble.
CrankE writes:
And a pocket full of $100s. (well, not real $100s, but just to complete the costume...)
Maybe a big roll of crimson tape with the Alabama "A" on there? ROLL TAPE! ROLL TAPE! ROLL TAPE!

Not really looking to humor you. It was more to show crompton we support him. Heisman-worthy? Of course not. But I won't be surprised if he's 2nd team all-SEC at the end of the year.
TN 42
SC 10

Witch doctor won't need to do much for this costume since he has been in that position all season from being wrong so often.

Boy we really beat BAMA. They were whipped. My boyfriend says if we had another chance to kick the fiedl goal, we wouldn't hit the noseguard, we would have hit the linebacker.

Don't go as a Georgia player - they wouldn't let you in since they never show up for a big game.

I live in SC. SC fans think TN is now below them in the East. SC still has trouble beating GA, and of course FL, but they feel they are in the top 3 of the East, and TN, Vandy, and KY is the bottome three. Their feeling is their big game now is FL and Clemson?? "We cannot score on the SC defense". Our special teams are horrible, and ole Spurrier now has the receivers and will score enough to win.

At least we know the slime S L I V E won't be at the game.....with his looks security would certainly turn him away!!!!!!!!!!

Dude, serious question. What is the point of coming here? I mean if you want to share an honest unbiased opinion about football...thats cool. But all you do is insult people. Granted some fans make their own back, but to be fair you com onto our site and ask for it by making some snotty remark about Kiffin, or the Vols. If you don't like either one fine...but I don't care for Meyer or Florida and I don't go on Florida sites trashing them. I just don't see the point of it. Like I said if you have something legit to contribute then by all means feel free to come and talk football, but the just trash and insults get old on both sides.

The Vols will take over #2 position in the East after bombing the Chickens on Saturday night.
I am unable to attend the game Saturday night and have 2 tickets in Section K if anyone is interested.
GO VOLS!

SC fans are still delusional, I see. I was visiting a friend in SC, a transplanted Tennessean, when we played golf with some SC fans the year before SC came into the SEC. One of them said, "The SEC has never seen speed like we have at SC!" I almost blew beer out my nose!
